Paul Konerko's World Series grand slam ball

Chris Walker, Chicago Tribune

With the bases loaded n the bottom of the 7th in Game 2 of the 2005 World Series, Konerko hit the first pitch off reliever Chad Qualls over the left field wall to give the Sox a 6-4 lead. It was the 18th grand slam in World Series history. The Sox went on to win the game 7-6 on Scott Podsedniks walk-off homer -- and, of course, went on to win the Series in four games. Chicago filmmaker Chris Claeys caught the ball and after declining the White Soxs efforts to get him to turn the ball over to the team, he loaned it to Harry Carays, where it is insured for $50,000 and on display at their Navy Pier location.
